Modeling and CAD generally require up to 4 monitors.

  1. App
  2. App submenus and subwindows
  3. Redlines/markups/notes
  4. Optional. Emails, file browsing, screen share, manuals.

Though I'd say working with complicated apps regularly will give you a mental illness, so fair.

Like it says, mental illness.

I don't do modeling or anything, but don't workspaces (virtual desktops) work better? Mostly to avoid moving your head so much around 4 screens. I would think so anyway but i dunno

I work with redlines and you need to have them open on another screen while you're making edits unless you like torturing yourself.
